The old Lawas Airport
The construction of the new airport for Lawas in Limbang division under 11th
Malaysia Plan (11MP) will boost the economic, social and tourism potentials of
Sarawak and Sabah.
The existing old Lawas airport was too small and the runway was always hit by
floods during the rainy season forcing it to be closed, sometimes up to one
week.
The airport can only accommodate the Twin Otter aircraft and with the new
airport bigger aircraft can operate in Lawas
Currently only the 17-seater Twin Otter aircraft operated by Maswings provide
the Rural Air Service (RAS) to Lawas.
Lawas had huge potentials in the tourism industry but the limited flights there
made this northern Sarawak region quite difficult to promote as a tourism
destination.
Lawas shared its border with Sipitang Sabah, many areas of joint cooperation
between the two states could be explored further.
